ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #100 (Hero Initiative) (Feb 2007)
|
In support of The Hero Initiative, a charity for comic book creators in need, Marvel Comics has put together The Ultimate 100, a hundred specially drawn covers to Ultimate Spider-Man #100 from a veritable who's who of the comics industry, some of whom have themselves worked on Spider-Man at some point in their storied careers.
Each contributor to the project was given a blank cover to the said comic on which to sketch or doodle to their heart's content. As such, each cover is unique and in most cases showcases the artist's raw talent. Covers by legendary pencillers George Perez, Al Milgrom, and John Romita (both Sr. and Jr.) are featured side-by-side with those of Mark Bagley, Joe Quesada, Chris Bachalo, Frank Quitely and (surprise) Todd McFarlane, just to name a few. Neil Gaiman also has a contribution to the project, which is as good a reason as any to check it out.
The covers will be auctioned off throughout the month of February at the Orlando and New York Comic Conventions, with the remainder going on sale on eBay come March. More information about the Ultimate 100, with previews of some artwork, can be seen on the Marvel website. Meanwhile, a write-up of the debut event can be found over at Newsarama.
